In 1961, a tenacious 18-year-old, Jean-Claude Boisset founded his namesake negociant winery in Nuits-St.-Georges. An artisan Burgundy producer with an audacious, authentic style, the winery is housed in a former Ursulines convent where Winemaker Gregory Patriat strives for authentic wines in which human intervention has been kept to a bare, discreet minimum. Utilizing native yeasts, the wines are concentrated, well-rounded, and naturally expressive of their terroirs. The winery embraces thephilosophy devised by the Boisset family of the Viniculturalist, where the winemaker is as much engaged in the vineyards as in the cellars, building close partnerships with growers to achieve the highest quality in the vineyards.938531
